Windows 7, explorer 8 change from 64 to 32 bit to allow flash play

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

Can anyone help, all I am getting are messages that state adobe flash player
is not compatable with 64 bit change your browser to 32 bit. I go to the
exporer site and it tells me I already have explorer 8 downloaded and when i
check the available downloads none are for Windows 7.
I've checked programme files and unlike explorer 7 there is not a 32 & 64
bit download

It is pre-installed. On 64-bit Windows both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions
are installed.

It doesn't matter if you download IE8 for Vista - it won't install on
Windows 7.
